Khalid Ahmed Jamil (born 21 April 1977) is an Indian professional football manager and former midfielder who is the current head coach of Indian Super League (ISL) club Jamshedpur.[2]

Jamil spent most of his playing career at Mahindra United, Air India and Mumbai.[3] After taking an early retirement in 2009 due to injuries, he pursued a career in football management.

He started his managerial career with Mumbai and went on to manage several top-tier Indian football clubs like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Aizawl,[4] Mumbai,[5] NorthEast United and Jamshedpur, notably winning the I-League with Aizawl.

He is the first Indian coach to be appointed as a permanent head coach of an ISL club and the only Indian coach to qualify for the ISL playoffs, which he achieved with NorthEast United in the 2020–21 season.[6][7]
